Anything black can do here? After some early screw ups and being down, black has regained some initiative. However does the initiative need to end here?

White can give up a huge amount of material here.

I don't see it. Not at all.

Black is so far behind he basically needs to mate White right now or he's toast. Don't see any mate -> end of the line. White's king is just too safe behind the pawns

Assuming there are black rooks, put them on e8 and d8 with tempo and play Qd5 afterwards. After Black has forced a weakening pawn move on White's kingside, Black will be able to build some sort of attack by a minority attack. The queen can be brought to g5 or h5 once a White rook shows up on d1.

Assuming there are no rooks, I must ask if this is serious? If not, go to the poker forums and level the guys over there... No need for leveling in chess, we can see it all ((-:
